Chrissy - Wichita Roadman

  • A retro-ish acid banger as entertaining as its title.

  • The title "Wichita Roadman" is a pun intended for a very specific cross-section of people. It hints towards Chrissy's unique sense of humor, which is both extremely niche but also universal. So goes his music. His latest release, the Art Throb EP on Permanent Vacation, sounds a bit like Chrissy joking around in the studio, making the most fun music he can just because... he can. And "Wichita Roadman," the highlight, almost lives up to its title, a bounding house number with a breakbeat-assisted stomp (and thrilling little flights of breaks) and other lush, almost mischievous synth touches, a little Chicago and a whole lotta UK. Chrissy is not only a jack of all trades but a master of all, too, and he sounds effortless on tracks like "Wichita Roadman," where you can hear his decades of experience and musical knowledge at work.
